Wine simply means that which is of the vine (as already shown). So, Jesus turned water into wine (juice of the grape).

Good Wine, Unalcoholic, Unfermented Wine:​

​

[1] Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and [one] saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing [is] in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. Isaiah 65:8​

​

[2] Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries. Nehemiah 13:12​

​

[3] So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. Proverbs 3:10​

These 3 simple texts reveal that the word "wine" is also meant of the simple juice of the Grapes, even ripe from the harvest, right off of the vine, right fresh and invigorating from the press vats, the very firstfruits of the harvest increase even.

How does one become drunk by drinking unfermented wine? By its very nature there is an alcohol content in wine otherwise it would be called grape juice. In these biblical examples it is obvious that wine is an alcoholic beverage. You don't get drunk by drinking grape juice.

Your examples do not specify at all that the new wine is merely grape juice.

Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

Acts 2:13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine."

1 Samuel 1:14 ...and said to her, "How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine."

It's the third book of the Torah/Pentatuech.

That's my perception as well.

No. It is not a sin to drink alcohol. It is sinful to get drunk, to drink too much alcohol. Cheers!
